Lipogramma flavescens
The yellow basslet is a small marine fish of bright yellow color. It lives on deep coral reefs in the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea.
The yellow basslet is distinguished by its bright uniform yellow color without stripes or spots. It helps maintain balance on the reef by eating small animals and serves as food for larger fish.
Grabs prey with its mouth while swimming near the bottom.
